Our inner search

Gabriel García Márquez already said that wisdom comes to us too late… I believe that it comes to us early in our lives but that we do not know how to access it. We spend half our lives trying to find answers to everything and get everything we want based on other people’s experiences, on what should be done or by looking at others.

If we put these tips of Tibetan wisdom into practice, If we directed our actions in accordance with these values, we would achieve inner tranquility. which would make our lives much easier. We live in a world that does not make room for spirituality and cultivating ourselves, so it is extremely important to explore.

It seems that we do not have time to dedicate to ourselves, due to the obligations and responsibilities we have. Sometimes it’s not that we don’t have time, it’s that we are afraid of finding something we don’t like within ourselves. But therein lies our great wealth. Searching within ourselves is difficult but it is worth it.
